NNF20 Artists: YARA + DAVINA
Arrivals + Departures is a Festival commission for NNF20, a new public artwork by Davina Drummond & Yara El-Sherbini. It is an interactive public installation about birth, death and the journey in between. Taking the recognisable form of a station or airport arrivals and departures board, the artwork invites the public to share the names of people who have arrived and departed as a way to celebrate a birth or commemorate a death.
Yara El-Sherbini & Davina Drummond are two pioneering British social practice artists, who for almost two decades have been creating art with a focus on engagement and participation. They use formats from within popular culture to make works which are accessible and playful. Using formats such as jokes to mini golf and choirs and tattoo parlours, they root their works in the everyday, using a lightness of touch and humour to make works that are both poetic and universal.

Great Yarmouth Audio Postcards
Horsey from Lorraine Lavan
Lorraine Lavan is painting a picture with words of Horsey Beach.
Commissioned artist Lucia Scazzocchio has conducted interviews with members of the community in Great Yarmouth in order to create ‘Audio Postcards’. Participants were asked to collect sound recordings of an area that had special meaning to them – this made up the visual/picture side of the postcard. Then they were asked to record a message similar to the written message on the back of a postcard. When combined the resulting product is an Audio Postcard – that captures the essence of people and place.
Local Legend: Kelly Lindsay
Kelly Lindsay is the founder of Norfolk Charity Friend In Deed, who create friendships across the generations through various intergenerational schemes, and aim to ‘reduce loneliness and promote kindness’. This was born through her passion in supporting vulnerable elderly people and work experience at behavioural schools. Kelly was recently made a winner in the Community category of Good Morning Britain’s 1 Million Minutes Award.
Norfolk & Norwich Festival has been working with Friend in Deed and Norwich Puppet Theatre since 2018 to bring young and old together through Puppet Portrait workshops in care homes.
